ETG Maldives expansion

ENTIRE Travel Group continues to boost its portfolio, today confirming the launch of a brand dedicated to the Maldives.

The new Maldives Travel Connection division complements other destinations covered by the group, with the expansion meaning ETG operates a stable of nine specialist wholesale brands including French Travel Connection, Tahiti Travel Connection, Canada & Alaska Specialist Holidays, Spain & Portugal Travel Connection, Barge Travel Connection & the recently merged CIT Holidays ( TD 23 Apr).

CEO Brad McDonnell said Maldives Travel Connection was a natural extension of the company’s product range.

“We have extensive experience in selling island destinations, but what really distinguishes all our brands is the depth of knowledge and level of expert support they provide our travel agent partners,” McDonnell said.

He said the Maldives was an increasingly popular destination, but also a complex one.

“While it offers visitors a broad range of outstanding properties, they are scattered across thousands of coral islands and serve different markets.

“Only a dedicated Maldives wholesaler can provide the insight and understanding required to help agents confidently find the right product for their customers,” he said.
